About Stonebroom Primary and Nursery School
Stonebroom Primary and Nursery School is significantly oversubscribed, a clear signal of its standing in the local community. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 39 applications for just 23 places, with all 23 first-preference applicants offered a spot. This gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.7, meaning nearly two families compete for every place. The school currently houses 225 pupils against a stated capacity of 196, so it is running above its official limit. Demographically, the school stands out: 41% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average and likely the local average too, placing Stonebroom in a context of significant socio-economic diversity. The school is a mixed, non-religious state primary in North East Derbyshire, part of the Derbyshire local authority, and includes a nursery provision for children from age three.
